It seems realistic enough: you and your friends decide to go to the casino one night for your buddy’s bachelor party. As you’re making your rounds; rolling dice, pulling the side bar on slot machines and putting on your best poker face, the unthinkable happens – you win at the casino. And we mean big time. Who would have thought that one of the major prizes at a casino becomes awarded to you? Once you collect your earnings, you turn to your buddies and they look at you in amazement, wondering what you will plan to do next. Of course, you know what the plan will be: Spoil yourself and your friends rotten. Here are some suggestions on how to spend your winnings with your friends:

Rent The Penthouse Suite

Don’t settle for less. You’re tired of renting out budget rooms for you and the guys whenever you go out and now that you’ve got a few extra dollars to spend, you might as well live your dream. You’re ready to take on an executive-level suite and order all the room service your heart desires. And by room service, we don’t just mean food. Hire exotic dancers to come to your room, purchase the best booze in town and make sure you’ve got all your executive-level perks. Who says your boss is the only one who deserves these perks? Live it up!

The Best Night Out Ever

Rent a limousine to take you guys out, buy a fancy suit for the evening, eat at one of the city’s most upscale restaurants and order bottle service and a VIP booth. This night just got amazing because you won at the casino! Don’t forget to lavish yourself and your friends with the best accessories, too: gold jewelry, a Mont Blanc watch and other stylish designer items. It’s time to start living a lavish lifestyle. See if you can rent a Ferrari or your dream car the next day. Don’t forget to purchase valet parking at your hotel!

Take A Vacation

After winning a ton of money, you don’t want that night to end. You may consider taking another vacation, especially since your one night out ended with you winning a lot of money. That one night out could now turn into a week or two of fun. If you won at a local casino, book a trip for you and the guys to Las Vegas for more gambling or head to Miami for a week of partying and relaxation on the beach. The groom would love you for it, too. Just make sure you don’t plan the trip a week before the wedding!

Quit Your Job And Keep Gambling

Of course, if your winnings are in the millions you may be eligible to retire at a very young age or at least take a good ten years off from work. But what will you do with all your free time, while your buddies continue on with their regular nine-to-five jobs? If you plan on doing the early retirement route, you might want to continue playing at the casino to see if you can win another few million dollars so that all your friends can end up retiring early with you!

Many of you are thinking: “What’s a bachelor party without alcohol, my best buds and sexy strippers dancing around us?” While that question does make sense to the majority of the male population, trying something different like a casino night (even if you plan it prior to attending a strip club) can be quite entertaining. With rows upon rows of slot machines, tables with card games, Roulette and Black Jack, the casino is a modern-day playground for adults. However, gambling doesn’t end at the casino. Visit Woodbine Race Track and bet on the best breeds and see if you’re lucky enough to score some extra coin off a winning horse. Of course, there are many ways to bet on the horse races – daily double, pick 3, and so on. Plus most facilities will provide you with instruction sheets if you’re new to betting. What’s even better about these places is that your friends can kick back, socialize amongst each other and grab some food as well. Here are some suggested gambling endeavors:

The Casino

The casino is without a doubt the place where adults come to play at all hours of the day up until the wee hours of the morning. This is undoubtedly one of the places where you and your friends can spend hours in! Who knows? One of you may even walk out of there a millionaire. But unrealistic expectations aside, you and your buddies can spend time gambling and eventually dine at one of the casino’s restaurants followed by seeing a live show. Transportation is usually the easiest to arrange when going to a casino. If you and your buddies are looking to go to Casino Rama, for instance, their website brings up a list of coach bus services traveling there. On the drop-down menu, select the city you’re coming from and the website will then pull up a list of pick-up dates, places and times, making your casino arrangements that much easier and no one has to volunteer to drive. Too drunk to get home at the end of a gambling night? Most casinos come equipped with hotel packages and continental breakfast to chase your hangover away the next day.

Horse Racing

Betting on slim odds are not always a favourite, however, it can quickly become an addiction once you get a feel for the stronger breed, or winning horses. Start off by betting something small. Woodbine racetracks allow a person to bet an amount as little as $2. From there you increase your betting amount as you begin to get comfortable with your bets and betting styles. Check out Wegz Stadium Bar as well for off-track betting and high quality televisions to view sports games on (for those in your group not looking to gamble). Wegz also has designated areas for group events complete with golf simulators, arcade games and lounge areas that you and your friends can book for a bachelor party.

Betting on your Favourite Hockey Team

If you’re looking for something simple but not too standardized like your regular boys’ night in playing poker, check out a live Leafs game (or hockey team of your choice) and agree to bet on the odds your favourite team will win. This puts an exciting gambling ‘twist’ to viewing a sports game and for the gambling amateurs out there, it will make watching the game that much more exciting. You can make things interesting by arranging to take a shot every time your favourite team scores a goal? Or you can buy the groom a beer when the opposing team scores? – Create the bets as the game continues for added excitement.
